Add stale action #277

Closed vvatelot closed 10 months ago

vvatelot commented 10 months ago

In order to

Clean up the backlog and only keep the accurate issues / PR

I want to

Implement https://github.com/actions/stale so it will automatically send reminders to people watching PR / issues to ask them if they are still up to date

@tbroyer why thumb down ? 🤔

I personally hate it when issues are auto-closed with such bots. I see it as a sign that issues aren't given enough love/time, which means the either the maintainer team doesn't care enough or isn't "sized" to handle them, both are a negative signal regarding maintenance of the project, so possibly a sign that maybe I shouldn't use it.

I subscribe :100: to these:

Radio silence on a bug report is far better than this stale bot / "we value your feedback but..." bull shit.

Bugs are bugs. Feature requests are feature requests. Don't use a bot to cover for your broken process and inability to triage.

Leave bugs open. Every few months there's stories of bugs fixed after single or double-digit years on here or HN or Reddit. Leave feature requests open or simply respond "no" or "not for the foreseeable future" and close. By a human. […] I'm left with a stale taste in my mouth from the bot.

[Some] issues […] were never replied to and hit by the bot. It disincentivizes me from filing anything in the future.

OK,maybe there is a misunderstanding here:

In our case, maybe this is a problem of resources, but as you maybe know, Ecoindex is a non profit project and so all developers are volunteer. So:

  1. There are few developers working on Ecoindex
  2. They do not have a lot of time

So when we work on this project, we try to work efficiently in the smartest way as possible.

Regarding all the issue in the backlog currently, there are a lot of them that could be closed right now IMO or other that should be moved to discussion...

Anyway, if you want to give a hand, you are welcome :wink: :slightly_smiling_face:
